More and more travellers are making their way to Australia in quest of a brighter lifestyle.
Oz has always been a top destination for British nationals looking to emigrate because of its gorgeous beaches, vibrant towns, scorching summers, and warm winters.
Whether you’re moving for a new job or to buy a house in Australia to retire to, there is some planning involved before you pack your bags and take off.
Do you need a visa to live in Australia?
For entry into Australia, British nationals need a visa; those who want to emigrate there also need a different kind of visa.
Senior citizens above the age of 55 may apply for retirement visas.
To be eligible for one, you must also have assets worth more than $500,000 and an annual income of $65,000, which can include a pension.
Many young individuals who immigrate to Australia apply for Skilled Migration Visas, which give them permission to reside and work there.
This visa is granted according to a points system, and the entire procedure may take up to a year.
Which visa do you need?
There are 5 subsets of the General Skilled Migration Visa.
Which are:
- Independent Skilled Visa (subclass 189)
- Nominated as skilled (subclass 190) Visa
- Graduate Interim (subclass 485) Visa
- Provisional Skilled – Nominated or Sponsored (subclass 489) Visa
- Regional Skilled (subclass 887) Visa
The most popular type of visa is called a “Skilled Independent Visa” (subclass 189), which enables you to live and work in Australia without needing to be sponsored by a friend, family member, local government, or state.
